Definitions

  • a second option is for the second and third strips to be of the same length so that the space for the entry is in the middle of them.
  • the second and third strips are welded to the first strip by lengthwise lines and by two groups of sloping lines on either side of the entry opening which form various strangulated passages thus creating a double valve with open ends and a single entry. This double valve forms a nexus between two inflatables.
  • Figure 4 shows the main stage in the production process for valves such as those described.
  • This process involves one continuous strip - 11- of heat weldable material which includes equally spaced areas -2- of non-weldable material.
  • strip -11- two other strips of heat weldable material -12- and -13- are juxtaposed. The are separated by a space - 5- of the width of the valve opening to be obtained. This space partly coincides with the non-weldable areas -2-.
